    Nope, I think people are sick of giving Rally Armor $140 for mud flaps.

    I'm sure there is a rough Swedish->English translated 20 step process to put those mud flaps on.

    Edit: read the link and that is actually pretty cool

    NASIOC.

    I kid I kid. I would love some of thier mud flaps. They are actually excellent quality but:

    1- They don't sell them for the SF (98-02) chassis as of right now.
    2- I refuse to spend $140 on mud flaps. I am far too good with my hands.

    You obviously have never bought anything from Ikea. All of the instructions look like this:

    Eh, they kinda suck as cutting boards; glad to see they have SOME use.

    I like things with two wheels and things with four wheels.

    Those cutting boards ****ing BLOW for actually cutting with. My 9 dollar lexan one pones all other budget cutting boards.

    Howevar.

    I can see Ikea if I stand on my roof, so I will continue to patronizing those dirty, dirty Swedes. They really should just hire Scandinavian Sluts to stand at the front of the store and greet me with mouthsex and trays of complimentary meatballs and apple cake (aplecakke?) from here forth.

    I think they are just fine for cutting up veggies. I prefer my bamboo boards though.

    The only useful product to come from Ikea. Sometimes I wonder how they make so much god damned money, then I remember what country I live in.

    For meat?

    It always grosses me out a little to watch a wooden cutting board change color from absorbing the fat and oils in meats. I prefer non-porous anything...

    Yeah since we're on the topic of cutting I got a super-cheapo Walmart chef's knife for maybe $12 well over a year ago and its still going strong. Looked at the cheapo knives at Ikea and they were about as flimsy as aluminum foil.

    I understand that. I immediately rinse with hot water, and then scrub very well. I soak in a bleach/water solution if the meats sits on there for more than a few muintues. I would love to have a full set of dedicated cutting boards in the futurre but, that isn't really in the cards right now. I do have seperate boards for meat and veggies though.

    How this for poor

    I built one of their beds for myself, I was super excited because it was the first real 'bed' with a frame, headboard, etc.

    So was my girlfriend.
    Long story short, she came over to 'christen' the bed, an shortly thereafter it was in pieces. I guess that's what you get for making furniture from pressed newspapers and woodglue. Not only was this embarrassing, but the next day I had to go buy another bed.

    Yup, mineral oil every few weeks seals it up quite nicely.

    The lower end stuff is crappy particle board. I have a dresser that is 4 years old and has been Patrikman rigged to work for 3 years because the doors jamb. The side boards flex so much that the drawers pop off of the slides.

    The more expensive stuff seems to be alot sturdier though.

    IKEA furniture is about as reliable and exciting as Volvos and SAABs.
